Restaurants in Wales
Not renowned for its cuisine Wales surpises many a hungry traveller. Welsh cuisine has developed
over time out of necessity and basic ingredients, in often less than prosperous times. Dont be put
off though, a veritable feast awaits! Basic ingredients like oats are made into porridge
cakes and soups. The traditional vegetables here are cabbage and leek. Meats to be found are
the succulent welsh lamb, a must to eat, and the more modern black beef both served in abundance when
dining in Cwmbran
. Visit the homely cafes and tea shops in any town for a warm welcome and wholesome
food. Search out
cafes in Swansea
, and make a point of trying the excellent local fish and chips.
Wales is famous for its laverbread (from an edible seaweed) Caerphilly cheese and its tea bread
(barabirth) so eating out is never dull and always filling. The local dish of cawl made from
bacon meat and vegetables included in a broth is on the menu in most village and towns. Eating
at a quiet
Newport bistro
enjoying some of the Welsh gathered cockles is a rare treat. The west
coast supplies large amounts of fresh caught mackerel and herring daily so
eating out in Barry
or Cwmbran is not to be missed. If you like trout or salmon you are definitely in luck!
